PTSD Whitepaper Hello everyone, my name is Rich and I’m the creator of PTSD Support Token ASA ID# 447899780. I decided to create this ASA because I wanted to raise money for a cause that is very important to me. PTSD is not well understood and impacts communities and households across the world. 1 in 13 people will experience PTSD at some point in their lives. Up to 50% of people with Substance Abuse Disorder report experiencing Post Traumatic Stress. If we can learn more about how this phenomenon affects the psyche and body, the better we can treat it and collectively heal. I chose the Algorand Platform because I believe it is the best blockchain on the market. For those who are unfamiliar with Algorand, it is Proof of Stake blockchain that is carbon negative and has near-instantaneous transaction speed along with shockingly low fees. Its blockchain offers the same capabilities for Decentralized Finance as Ethereum without the gas fees. I truly believe that Algorand will be the premier blockchain in the near future. I believe ASAs, Algorand Standard Assets, have limitless applications in our world today. Currently, they are utilized for purposes that range from tokens for trade to unique collectables that exist permanently on the blockchain. I believe that this platform is ideal for fundraising in a modern way. PTSD Support Token will use 15% of its total supply (150,000,000 tokens) for organizations that either do research in the field of PTSD and Addiction Services or for organizations that directly support people with these disorders. I believe that this will be a novel use of an ASA and will inspire people to create ASAs for causes that they believe in, too. My hope is that we can use this technology for good. I don’t want this to be the only way we help this cause; I believe that direct donations and mutual aid are as impactful as funding research. These are ways we can help NOW and provide relief for people who need it. In the subreddit reddit.com/r/PTSDASA, the community will regularly vote for organizations across the United States to support with direct donations of material goods and money. A poll will be conducted monthly to select what organization we are sponsoring and donations will be reciprocated with PTSD tokens. The future I envision for this community is limitless. I believe that together, we can make a difference in the lives of people who’ve been marginalized and misunderstood. People afflicted with diseases with no known cure.
